E-Greetings
An e-greeting is just like a paper greeting card. The only difference is that it is created
with the help of digital text and effects. While paper greeting card is in hard copy,
e-greeting is in soft copy. This means that you can see an e-greeting on your monitor but
you cannot touch it. E-greetings are sent anytime through e-mails, thus saves paper and
trees. The animation effects and music along with still images and text makes an e-greeting
look awesome. Some of the popular e-greetings websites are www.123greetings.com,
www.e-cards.com, etc.
The sender of e-greeting sends a link of the e-greeting to the receiver and the receiver INTERNET
need to click on that link to view the e-greeting in his web browser.
